ICQ 7 does not check the identity of the update server or the authenticity of the updates that it downloads through its automatic update mechanism. By impersonating the update server (think DNS spoofing), an attacker can act as an update server of its own and deliver arbitrary files that are executed on the next launch of the ICQ client. Since ICQ is automatically launched right after booting Windows by default and it checks for updates on every start, it can be attacked very reliably.Proof of concept code included.

Ubuntu Security Notice 1008-3 - USN-1008-1 fixed vulnerabilities in libvirt. The update for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS reverted a recent bug fix update. This update fixes the problem. It was discovered that libvirt would probe disk backing stores without consulting the defined format for the disk. A privileged attacker in the guest could exploit this to read arbitrary files on the host. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. By default, guests are confined by an AppArmor profile which provided partial protection against this flaw. It was discovered that libvirt would create new VMs without setting a backing store format. A privileged attacker in the guest could exploit this to read arbitrary files on the host. This issue did not affect Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. In Ubuntu 9.10 and later guests are confined by an AppArmor profile which provided partial protection against this flaw. Jeremy Nickurak discovered that libvirt created iptables rules with too lenient mappings of source ports. A privileged attacker in the guest could bypass intended restrictions to access privileged resources on the host.
